We went on the Norwegian Jewel for the New Years Eve cruise. Was it crowded? Yes. Was it fun? Yes. All in all everything was just fine. The Ship itself is in good condition. No failures or issues to report. Our cabin was an Oceanview on deck 5 and was OK. No problems there either.
The entertainment was actually very good, which I've noticed is common across the Norwegian line. Highlights were the Magician Greg Gleason and the Russian Acrobat couple.
Service was very good, Everyone we encountered were friendly and had smiles. (some we talked to were on their last cruise before vacation). Since we are Silver Latitude members and guests of the Casino, we were invited to a couple private events plus drinks on the house, which is always appreciated!
Cabin was pretty standard. We had quiet neighbors so that was a blessing. We did have one Pullman over the bed that made for a tight squeeze when walking around but not a deal breaker. The shower was bigger than most other cruise ships I've been on so that was a plus. TV was small and had a grainy picture plus the content wasn't very good.
